Operation buttons
1 “Start/Stop” button

machine stitches at a slow speed at the beginning of sewing
while the button is pressed. When sewing is stopped, the
needle is lowered in the fabric. For details, refer to “STARTING
TO SEW” on page B-31.
The button changes color according to the machine’s
operation mode.
2 Reverse stitch button
For straight, zigzag, and elastic zigzag stitch patterns that use
reverse stitches, the machine will sew reverse stitches at low
speed only while holding down the Reverse stitch button. The
stitches are sewn in the opposite position.
For other stitches, use this button to sew reinforcement
stitches at the beginning and end of sewing. Press and hold
this button, and the machine sews 3 stitches in the same spot
and stops automatically. (page B-35)
3 Reinforcement stitch button
Use this button to sew a single stitch repeatedly and tie-off.
For character/decorative stitches, press this button to end with
a full stitch instead of at a mid-point. The LED light beside this
button lights up while the machine is sewing a full motif, and
automatically turns off when the sewing is stopped. (page B-
35)
4 Needle position button
Press the needle position button to raise or lower the needle.
Pressing the button twice sews one stitch.
